No charges will be filed against a former South High School teacher who had been the subject of a police investigation for allegedly sending explicit text messages to male students and engaging in inappropriate behavior with one boy.

Police confirmed Thursday the case against Larisa Oringdulph, 31, was determined to be “non-criminal” in nature and was closed in late October.

Oringdulph resigned her position on Nov. 7, according to Pueblo City Schools (D60) spokesman Scott Jones.

Jones would not release information about whether Oringdulph was placed on leave prior to her resignation.
